	   </b> Therefore, a man may decree judgment for himself with
	   his confessor's council who resolutely wishes to abstain from sin and repent. Let him, for the
	   love of God, distribute his goods, all that he possesses, and forsake home and native land and
	   all the love of the world and serve his Lord day and night, mortify himself as he greatly as he
	   can against his own lust all the days of his life. What more can he do except that, in addition
	   to himself, he draw each man to what is right, as he most eagerly can?
